Review

Named not after the cheery chap in Cheers or even the Beatles’ Norwegian Wood but due to this particularly Woody cocktail containing birch water and mastiha.

Lives up to its name - very woody! Still, once that first taste fades, you get all the complication from the birch water and mastiha. Very refreshing and palate cleansing, I can definitely see it working as an after dinner drink!
